Psalm 70 – A Cry for Help in Persecution
For the leader. Of David. For commemoration.
1 Quickly, God, deliver me,
hasten to help me, Lord.
2 May those who are seeking my life,
be ashamed and confounded.
3 May those who delight in my hurt
be defeated and brought to dishonour.
4 But may all who seek after you
rejoice and be glad in you.
May all who love your salvation
say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.
5 I am weak and needy:
make haste, God, to me.
You are my help and deliverer;
Lord, don’t delay.
